Dr Susan Oman on a campaign that is designed to raise public awareness of AI
Your editorial on Pope Leo XIV’s call to centre human dignity in AI debate makes an important argument (The Guardian view on the Pope and Claude: Leo XIV’s encyclical on AI is right to put humanity first, 25 May). While governments, faith leaders and tech bosses debate the future of AI, one group is consistently left out of the conversation: the public, the very people whose lives the technology is shaping.
Last week, I gave evidence on AI sovereignty to the all-party parliamentary group on AI that aligns with Pope Leo’s position. I argued that AI sovereignty was a series of deeply human and societal questions that exceed technical, material and macroeconomic concerns. I showed that public concern about AI has risen by 10% in two years, and that 91% believe fairness should be prioritised over economic gain. Yet there is no national programme to help the public understand, trust or have a say in AI.

I draw the old way – with my hand. Doing it with AI would not make me more creative, it would drain the colour out of my existence
Last week I went to a gig by myself for the first time. I sat myself down in my single seat, possibly the youngest person in the room and one of thousands excited to see Split Enz. I loved it – I felt joy and heartache as the lyrics spoke of human experiences, really lived. I happily realised that I did not have to wonder whether Split Enz had used AI in their work (as I so often do nowadays) as these bangers were created long before it was even dreamed of.
As a visual artist and writer myself, when I see AI generated images, music or words presented as “art”, I see red. It’s boring, it’s theft, it’s soulless, sterile and it’s killing the planet through energy and water-guzzling datacentres. Someone suggested AI “visual art” should be called “Computer Rendered Artificial Pictures” (CRAP).

Base MCP enables AI agents like ChatGPT to execute blockchain transactions, marking a step forward in integrating AI with DeFi and onchain wallets.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base has unveiled its Model Context Protocol (MCP), a tool allowing AI agents such as ChatGPT and Claude to interact directly with blockchain wallets. Officially launched on May 26, 2026, Base MCP lets users execute onchain actions—including token transfers, swaps, and DeFi protocol interactions—via natural language prompts. The tool connects Base accounts, which are smart wallets, to AI agents through a secure framework. Users can perform blockchain operations by chatting with the AI agent, which then proposes a transaction. A separate wallet interface opens up for users to approve or reject the action, ensuring private keys remain secure. Acco
Robinhood launched a beta product on Wednesday that lets users connect third-party artificial intelligence (AI) agents to dedicated brokerage accounts for autonomous stock trading.

On Monday, Pope Leo XIV unveiled an encyclical letter addressing the societal implications of artificial intelligence. The letter, titled Magnifica Humanitas, warned that the "use of AI is never a purely technical matter: when it enters processes that affect people's lives, it touches on rights, opportunities, status and freedom." Alongside him was Anthropic cofounder and interpretability team lead Christopher Olah, representing a partnership between the Catholic Church and one of the biggest players in AI.
The letter elicited a wide range of reactions from in and around the tech industry. Nearly everyone believed the document would be infl …

I don’t even know what a software engineer is supposed to be doing anymore. Do we code? Do we architect systems? AI agents have changed everything, and I don’t even know what to think.
I don’t write much code anymore. In my day job, I ask Claude to do most of the analysis, planning, and coding. My side projects are 100% written by Claude Code, and in some of these, I literally haven’t even reviewed the code because I trust Claude and because gStack reviews the code for me.
So I can still call myself a software developer, but I don’t think I can call myself a programmer anymore. But even in my role as a “software developer,” what I am doing is radically different. Writing code is a completely different animal from directing AI to write code. While I review the code that I write, that is not the same as reviewing the code that an agent writes for me.
Having an agent write code is like having another developer write your code for you and then reviewing it. It’s a totally different exper
